Camera Overview!

The MegaBall® G2 megapixel camera series fuses optimum performance with outstanding aesthetics.
These stylish indoor cameras feature a choice of 1.2-,1080p-, 3-, or 5-megapixel (MP) resolution
options. Regardless of time-of-day, this camera is ideal for applications with challenging lighting
conditions. The series combines a day/night mechanical IR cut filter with an integrated P-iris lens for
precise, optimal image quality. For applications with poor lighting conditions optional wide dynamic
range is available on some 1080p and 3MP models.

For challenging low-light applications, the 1.2MP STELLAR™, “Spatio Temporal Low Light
Architecture” model offers best-in-class light sensitivity capturing details in near complete darkness. For
additional low light capabilities Binning Mode is available on 3MP and 5MP camera models.

MegaBall® G2 IR models are integrated with an Adjustable Infrared Illuminator, providing clear images
in extreme, low-light scenes. Infrared camera models offer the ability to manually adjust the IR's level of
intensity, providing the flexibility to ensure the scene is illuminated uniformly. For applications that
require the camera to be mounted in close proximity to the target, an optional manual lens with an
ImmerVision Enables® panomorph system offers 180° and 360° views (5MP model).

The camera offers advanced streaming capabilities and is designed on an efficient H.264 encoding
platform capable of delivering high quality video without straining the network.

The SD card slot supports up to 32GB of storage capacity for convenient onboard storage. The
camera’s power can be supplied via a Power-over-Ethernet compliant network cable connection or with
power from a 12-48V DC/24V AC power supply.

The camera's interface allows for an intuitive, fast, and easy configuration; while the Free AV IP Utility
tool allows users to quickly configure multiple cameras at one time. The MegaBall® G2 is ONVIF Profile
S (Open Network Video Interface Forum) and PSIA (Physical Security Interoperability Alliance)
compliant, providing interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer.
